The Running Scared EP

 The Bomb EP

If Thomas Jefferson were alive today
He'd view record companies with dismay.

If Thomas Paine were here he'd say
Expose the evil of the RIAA.

And if Samuel Adams were to join the fray...
He'd dump the CDs in the Bay.

Say it loud and let 'em know...
The Big Five labels have got to go!

The Bomb: Postcard #8

"Fitehouse invades the USA!"

The History of Fitehouse - Part 2

Not to long ago Fitehouse was but a dream. Josh was living in MExico and spending his days as Director of Economics for the American Chamber of Commerce. After late nights in a Mexican funk band followed by early morning presentations to U.S. mayors and governors, he began to think that his dual life was taking its toll. While sitting across the table from Guillermo Ortiz, then Mexico's Minister of the Treasury, Josh realized he had reached the top and it was time to get down.

He quickly rang his childhood friend Gabe Gilligan, who was charging to the top of the corporate ladder stateside. After convincing him to drop his career as a marketing manager with a large consulting firm, Josh sold him on the idea of flying to Mexico and returning to the U.S. in Josh's 1973 Dodge Dart. Stopping in many cities along the way, Baltimore cried out as the best place to start their band. Was it the Charm City living? Or was it Josh's brother Dan, who opened his house (and his beer fridge) to them, that tipped the balance? Whatever it was, a quick response to a City Paper ad brought bassist Edward Plant into the fold and Fitehouse was born! 

Fitehouse... when you reach the top, it's time to get down!

Partaking in periodic partying 
doesn't preculde a path of
prudence and parsimony!
